SAN ANTONIO, TX

San Antonio, TX appears as the contributor city on $203,304,043 in federal receipts, drawn from 637,297 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault groups those lines from FEC.gov by the city and state stored on each record. Military-adjacent offices, downtown suites, and household addresses can share the same city string. The total is tagged activity rather than a count of San Antonio residents who wrote checks.

Key figures

  • San Antonio, TX contributor-city receipts total $203,304,043.
  • Those dollars sit on 637,297 FEC itemizations.
  • Other Texas city strings are not merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

What $203 million on the San Antonio city field includes

The $203,304,043 figure is the sum of federal contribution itemizations whose contributor city is San Antonio and whose contributor state is TX. Six hundred thirty-seven thousand two hundred ninety-seven lines feed that sum. LobbyVault does not decide whether a downtown tower is a PAC mail room or an individual’s office. If the committee typed San Antonio, TX, the receipt stays in this bucket. That mechanical rule keeps the hub checkable against the public file.

Houston, Dallas, and Austin are stored as their own city strings. None of those labels is inside the San Antonio total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Anyone quoting $203,304,043 as San Antonian giving is describing the city field, not a residency test. The 637,297 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how San Antonio voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the San Antonio city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $203,304,043 and 637,297 itemizations.

A large itemization count under the dollar total

The 637,297 line count is high relative to the dollar volume, which usually means a thick file of separate receipts—including smaller individual contributions—rather than a handful of oversized transfers carrying the whole city. Both types still share one column. This page reports the combined file: dollars and lines together, without a hidden individuals-only cut.

Free-text city names also split the metro. San Antonio is not a fuzzy match for nearby municipalities that committees spelled differently. The 637,297 records are the literal match on SAN ANTONIO. Researchers who want a combined Bexar County picture must add other city hubs themselves. This guide does not invent that merge.

Texas Ethics Commission reports are not inside $203,304,043. This hub is federal itemizations labeled San Antonio, TX: 637,297 records. A Bexar County briefing that blends suburbs is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
